Every month we publish an expert (video) column by Walt Mossberg. He is the principal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal and his Personal Technology column has appeared every Thursday since 1991. In addition to writing several columns he appears weekly on CNBC television. Mossberg is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers on information technology. He regularly hosts unscripted interviews with the likes of Bill Gates & Steve Jobs.

"When you hear that Apple has released a new product, you think of a sleek Macintosh laptop, or perhaps a beautiful program for editing videos. But a spreadsheet? Not a spreadsheet. After all, expertise with spreadsheets is the sort of computing skill about which the "Mac guy" in Apple's TV ads mocks the "PC guy."

And yet, last week, Apple brought out a new spreadsheet program called Numbers, thus completing one of its least-known products: a productivity suite called iWork. The iWork '08 suite, which competes with the Macintosh version of Microsoft Office, also includes a word-processing program called Pages and a presentation program called Keynote. The two were upgraded last week. IWork costs $79, about half the price of the lowest-cost version of Microsoft Office, which sells for $149."

We now offer iWork '08, click here for details.
